CANINDIAN MOTIVATION JOURNEY

"A
ll that I am and all that I hope to be, I owe it to my mother", (Abraham Lincoln). I reflect on this profound quote as a narrative to my life. I believe I am the product of my mother immense belief. She has been the single biggest factor in my life and the reason I have come this far. I feel if it wasn't for my mothers perseverance I wouldn't have been successfull.

Everybody has different analogy and formula in achieving success. My understanding of success is a notion from my mom that if people approach you to imbibe your qualities that means you have made it. She always insisted that even through adversity always ensure to expand your intellect. I now comprehend how prudent this information is.

E
ver since childhood, I remember having a vivid imagination. I used to get lost in imaginative stories in classroom. Books gave me an avenue to lose myself in the authors stories. I was always interested in reading about how to better myself.

It is a real piece of luck when your passion from childhood becomes your career, I have never, for a moment, lost the pleasure and stimulation of burying myself in a good book. At different stages in my life, books have meant different things to me. At moments they have opened up new horizons, at others they have been a huge support.

“We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.”
― Henry Ward Beecher.

My journey started in Bombay, India. My dad was a business man and my mom was a housewife. I lost my dad early on and my mom has been my primary source of guidance. Early on, I remember I was a bright child getting good grades in school, until I got behind due to recurring sickness. This is when I think the negative conditioning started to incur. The mental conditioning that happens your early life leaves a huge impact in your life. Some teacher may not foresee that this could be a reason that may plague the kids into early depression and anxiety.

I feel Indian teacher (my personal opinion - due to my upbringing) are not taught how to positively deal with mental psychology. I wish to make it clear that I have no quarrels with and no disrespect for individuals passionate and dedicated members of the education realm. It would be wrong of me to express any contention towards any individual who wishes to devote their lives to helping students grow as a person and reach their potential. Its is not that these individual my antagonism is targeting, it is the education system that peeks my discontent.
